Florfenicol is a synthetic broad-spectrum antibiotic that is
effective against most Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria
isolated from domestic animals. Florfenicol, a fluorinated
derivative of chloramphenicol, acts by inhibiting protein synthesis
at the ribosomal level and is bacteriostatic. Florfenicol does not
carry the risk of inducing human aplastic anaemia that is
associated with the use of chloramphenicol, and also has activity
against some chloramphenicol-resistant strains of bacteria.
